Alcohol. Everyone knows what it is, but

does everyone know what it does? For
generations alcohol has impacted the world
in many ways, whether that be good or bad.
In 2014, 48% of 11-15-year olds thought
it was okay for those their ages to drink.
With this in mind, should the legal
drinking age be lowered? Im Eva Clarke
here to discuss that and more in
__documentary name here__.
Eva puts a drink down on the bar (side on shot) with

EVA(VOICEOVER)

In 2016, 27% of Englands population were

classed as binge drinkers. Although this
figure may not seem very harrowing it
seems that an increase of an alcohol
consuming society is occurring.
EVA
Its clear that at this point into our
investigation, lowering the legal drinking
age is a split bill amongst young people
and those older. Tell us what you think
using the # Buy you a drink. How do you
think alcohol affects the population and
should the legal drinking age be lowered?
